Patchwork Blues Press is releasing, BUILDINGS, an African American lesbian love story on All Heart’s day, February 14

The romantic novel Buildings, a New York love story is the tale of a single mother with three children looking for a good woman but can’t see the best woman is right in front of her.

City building inspector, Maxine Simms finds Samantha Armstrong’s children in a dangerous basement and brings them home slightly injured but no worse for the wear. She forgets to return the little girl’s bike and it becomes the excuse to see Samantha again. The two women begin dating. Things couldn’t be better, until Samantha’s former lover, Sergeant Norma Higgins, pops back into the picture injured and in need of her tender loving care.

After an unpleasant publishing experience, BL decided to take control of her own fate and that of her books. She became a self-published writer two weeks before All Hollow’s Eve of this year. She enjoys writing. She loves using her writing skills to release her inner bitch through the characters she creates. Her novels and short stories allowed her to examine who she is, in black, white and various shades of gray. She can work out her ‘stuff’ through her characters. She finds it very liberating to do so. She vows to keep writing until she can’t.
